I bought a DPMS Oracle a few years ago and am just getting around to playing with it. No prior experience with AR-15's. Found a couple loads that stay around 1". Fun to operate and I'm interested in refinements or possibly a Les Baer, or other custom.

So the rifle will shoot and might likely shoot better than I can. However, the trigger is terrible, don't like the hand guard and hate the collapsible butt stock.

I like the looks of the Les Baer in this link;

$2290 for that one and being new I wonder if it's worth it? I see barrels for $400+, Triggers $200+, etc... . Adds up pretty quick and then I have to put it together properly. As a novice is this way too much or would I be paying an excessive premium for one built for me? Are there other reputable companies I should look to for a ready built, quality AR?
